An officer is credited with saving unresponsive man’s life at a York County convenience store last month after administering Narcan, according to the York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office.

In a Facebook post, the office said Sgt. Chris Geary responded to a call about an unresponsive man on June 27 around 10:00 p.m. The 26-year-old man was found in the men’s restroom of a convenience store located in the 1500 block of George Washington Memorial Highway, near the intersection with Coventry Boulevard.

Geary administered four milligrams of Narcan, an opioid blocker used to temporarily stop the effects of an overdose. The drug doesn’t have an effect on those who haven’t taken opioids.

The man started to wake up, but his breath was still shallow, so the officer then administered another four-milligram dose.

According to the department, deputies have used Narcan to save at least 11 people so far in 2018. Preliminary data from the Virginia Medical Examiner’s office shows eight people died from opioid overdoses in York County in 2017.
